Nothing is wrong with you. If talking to yourself meant that you had some mental disorder, about 96.6333% of us would have a mental disorder. Tons of us talk to ourselves. It's how we figure out things.

Hope I helped!

Hi, It is normal to talk to yourself, but if you do it in front of your friends or in a public area people might think weird stuff is going on. It probaly wouldnt suprise me if everyone talks to themselves. We all say things such as Im sick of this or Oh no not him again. Hope that helps.

Absolutely normal and it is something we all do at times. Often its the only way to get a decent answer! It can help to clarify problems and deal with issues without involving any one else. However, when in company try not to talk to yourself brcause some people may find it a bit strange. All the best.

Don't feel stupid about it. I talk to myself A LOT!! I have been for a long time. Sometimes I don't even realize that I am doing it until something clicks. So, there's nothing wrong with you. Don't worry about, I don't.

haha i thought i was the only one who did that!
okay, seriously though,it is perfectly normal, as long as you arent like, arguing with yourself, you know?
your not like
"but i should have said this"
"no, you shouldnt have! you are so stupid!"
"okay, guys, seriously, stop fighting!"
that, is bad ha
so yeah, talk away to work through stuff
just make sure no one hears you
and, if people are home, turn on music and do it :)

It's perfectly normal to talk to yourself, I would think most people do this at times. The only time you should avoid doing it is in public, for the obvious reasons.
Talking out loud can help you to process ideas, formulate plans or just see if something still sounds sensible out loud. It can also help if you are shy of putting an idea to others if you run it by yourself first, say in a mirror. It can also be a type of protective thing to do if you're ever worried about being alone.
So don't worry, carry on doing and join in with the rest of us.
Best of luck.

I have always talked to myself, and had conversations with myself, for as long as I can remember. I still do, but only when I'm alone. ;-)

It's Perfectly okay to talk to yourself from time to time especially when you feel down, have no one to talk to, or if you can't share your problems with other people.

It's true that almost all--no, make that All people do that from time to time because it(talking to yourself) serves as an outlet for all the stress that you have.

Hope I helped you a lil' bit!

Yes other people do this... and by 'other people' I mean every other person on the planet!
'Talking' to one's self (whether it be aloud, or silently) is a completely normal thing and a good way for us to work through problems. Even little problems like: 'Where should I hang this picture?'...'On the wall over here?'...'Yes, that looks like a good place for it.'
Don't feel stupid.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure conversing with yourself does not make you certifiable ;)

More people than willing to admit it talk to themselves. If they say they don't, they are lying liars.

When I was in high school, I talked to myself a lot. It was mainly because I was very shy and intorverted and spent a lot of time by myself. I had to work everything out on my own.

It can be kind of embarassing to get caught having a convo with yourself. You should join some kind of drama class. That way if someone catches you, you can say you are just practicing dialouge.

I pretty much do it 97.37% of the time.
There's nothing wrong with it at all. A lot of people actually do it. aha. if anyone heard me i would die too. Its prefectly normal.
